I signed up with strayer originally just to take a single unix course. Because of the cost of the classes I had to sign up for financial aide, which required I sign up for at least one more course. I could not have been more clear with the women in the financial aide dept. My words verbatum, "i'm not sure what i'm doing, all I know is that I can not afford any type of loan, period (yes, I spoke the word period)." I continued, "I had signed up with the pell grant in the past, if I that won't cover most of the expenses then I will have to go back to germanna" (a community college with much better, and way more professionally trained, instructors). For half the semester I couldn't access my account with them because of a "new system glitch." fast forward to the middle of the semester and I have a loan from fannie mae and an extra class I didn't need to take. After a recording a lengthy discussion, that was mostly one-sided after the other party shut her mouth when I pulled out the tape recorder, it was agreed that the loan would be cancelled and I only had to pay for the single unix course. I was spared the expense of the english class, which was good because they incorrectly placed me in a non-credit course. Since I couldn't get to my account from the "glitch" I never realized I was in the wrong class. The unix class was a totally different train wreck. Every time the teacher explained something I constantly shook my head. I spent most of the time correcting his teaching and scripting errors with other class mates. On one occasion he couldn't figure out how to show a student the right way to write a simple linux script. When I showed him mine with relational paths instead of absolute paths (a perfectly acceptable, and cleaner way to write code) he got confused and said my way "shouldn't work". Yet mine called the data properly I needed and his failed miserably. Finally, even after telling them via phone and e-mail to take me off their contact lists, and after being assured that my contact information would be removed from their databases permanently, they continue to force me to relive those events time and time again by explaining (once again) why I want to be taken off their call list. I must receive a call at least once a month and multiple times a month during enrollment. Please steer clear of this school, they will never let you go.
